Teachers, kudos on making it to the end of another school year! While you’ve been grading those last few exams and bidding goodbye to students for the summer, we’ve been busy making updates to Gooru to make the next school year even better.

We are excited to share the news that major updates to Gooru’s learning navigator are here! Read on to see what’s new and how to find the resources that will help you get started.

Remix and customize quality courses developed and implemented at innovative schools, districts, and charters. These courses are educator-curated, built in classrooms, and studied by students over the past nine months. Read more about Gooru’s courses.

Remix and customize assessments, assign them to students, and track individual and class progress on a new real-time dashboard.

New Tools to Build Content

We’ve updated our content editor to make it easier to build your Gooru content, from assessments to collections to full courses. Tag to standards, collaborate with your colleagues, and manage assignments for the classes you create in Gooru. Build assessments with 8 interactive question formats.

Please note: The content that you have already created in Gooru is in your profile. Your classes (now called classrooms) for this past school year have been archived. If you’d like to keep a copy for your records, you may download a CSV of your data.

We want to support you as you familiarize yourself with the new features of Gooru’s learning navigator.
